About the Lions: Detroit (6-5) lost to the Packers 37-26 on Turkey Day and is a game up on the Vikings in the NFC North.

Dangerous player: Veteran quarterback Jon Kitna, who guaranteed the Lions would win 10 games before the season started, has been good for Detroit (14 touchdown passes and 2,897 passing yards) and good for the opposition (12 interceptions and 11 fumbles). He suffered a concussion in the teams' first meeting, but came off the bench to lead the Lions to a 20-17 overtime victory on Sept. 16 in Detroit.
